How to Make a Christmas Bow.
First, make the Streamer - to fork the ends, fold ribbon in half, cut diagonal, see A and B, or cut like C.
To Make the Bow, take a length of ribbon; fold first 1/5 back on main piece; loop long end over folded back section and around bottom and top layers, creating 5 equal layers; one end is the center layer, other bottom; they face opposite directions.
With a separate piece of ribbon, knot the bow snugly, gathering layers, pinning or tieing knot to back; cut excess from knot.
Fan the bow out.
Create a Diagonal cut, follow C.
Pin streamers to the back of the bow, or insert streamer before you tie the knot in back..
See instructions for an artificial Christmas Wreath that you can make and use on your door every year.
